If the construction timeline stays on schedule, Memorial High School will open in 2017 and be the fourth high school to open in four years in Frisco, which is about 30 miles north of Dallas.

The school will be built to accommodate 2,100 students. The Frisco school board voted earlier this month to approve a maximum construction price for Memorial of $85.7 million. That is 6 percent less than the original estimated cost of $91 million.

Money to build Memorial High School comes from a $775 million bond issue approved by voters in 2014. The Frisco district anticipates that those bond funds will pay for facilities needed to accommodate an enrollment of up to 66,000 students.
